Where do all the old, beaten up wood shipping pallets of New York City go? If Yorkwood Co. has anything to do with it, they'll go back into your home — after being transformed into warm industrial style furniture, that is.

Wood shipping pallets are used all over New York but there comes a time when they must be discarded. That's where Yorkwood comes in. By developing relationships with businesses in New York City, Yorkwood collects excess pallet wood and re-purposes it into tables and benches. Yorkwood will also work with customers to create custom designs.

The pallet wood used is often marked by use — nail holes, knots and dings. These character flaws, which can still be seen through the finish applied to the wood, give the furniture character.
